Easy To Lose Yourself ....

Tonight I cant sleep! Jeff had to work a weird shift at night! I have not updated my blog for awhile so thought since I can't sleep I would update it. My mind has been wondering a lot lately... I have recently lost a great friend and also some others that I had went to school with. Losing those that I have known that our my age has really but a perspective on my life lately. Suddenly the house, car, weightloss goal, clothing, shoes, furnishing, and other material things dont matter as much! I cannot believe that in the past I had wasted so much time and effort on those things. However we are all guilty of it and I am sure I will end up there again! You know the place I am talking about! The place when you see someone with a nicer house, someone who is skinny, and or a nice car....-we automatically start thinking of the Temporarily things of the world and we lose what is important! How is it that we lose perspective of the things that our most important to us so easily? Why is it that we cannot be content and happy with what we have and who we are? If it came down to a loved one being sick and fighting for there life....the car, house, clothes, are not going to have any value! I really want to challenge myself not to easily lose myself in the ways of the world. To try to always remember what is important and valuable to me....My Family! My Spritual Growth!
